Abstract

A display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes at least one display module ( 9 ). The at least one display module includes a display panel ( 12 ), a support base ( 51 ), and an adjustment mechanism ( 52 ). The display panel is capable of displaying an image. The support base supports the display panel. The adjustment mechanism is connected to the display panel and connected to the support base, the adjustment mechanism being capable of adjusting a relative distance of the display panel to the support base. This makes it possible to display a high-quality image.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A display apparatus, comprising 
 at least one display module that includes 
 a display panel that is capable of displaying an image, 
 a support base that supports the display panel, and 
 an adjustment mechanism that is connected to the display panel and connected to the support base, the adjustment mechanism being capable of adjusting a relative distance of the display panel to the support base. 
   
     
     
         2 . The display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the display panel includes a display surface on which the image is displayed, and   the adjustment mechanism is capable of adjusting the distance in a direction that is vertical to the display surface.   
     
     
         3 . The display apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein 
 the adjustment mechanism moves the display panel relative to the support base in parallel with the direction vertical to the display surface.   
     
     
         4 . The display apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein 
 the adjustment mechanism includes a screw that is attached to the support base, and a connection member that is attached to the display panel and connected to the screw, the adjustment mechanism adjusting the distance by the screw being rotated relative to the connection member.   
     
     
         5 . The display apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein 
 the screw is rotatably attached to the support base, and   the adjustment mechanism adjusts the distance by the rotation of the screw.   
     
     
         6 . The display apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein 
 the screw is a female screw, and   the connection member is a male screw that is fitted into the screw.   
     
     
         7 . The display apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein 
 the screw is a male screw, and   the connection member is a female screw into which the screw is fitted.   
     
     
         8 . The display apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein 
 the screw is a male screw of which at least a tip is a magnetic body,   the tip of the screw is movably attached to the support base by the rotation of the screw, and   the connection member is a magnet that is brought into contact with the tip.   
     
     
         9 . The display apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein 
 the adjustment mechanism includes a fixation member that rotatably holds the screw and is fixed to the support base, and   the screw and the connection member are spaced from the support base.   
     
     
         10 . The display apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein 
 the support base includes a flat plate portion that is arranged parallel to the display surface and in which a through hole is formed,   the screw and the connection member are connected to each other through the through hole, and   the through hole has a diameter of a size such that the through hole is not brought into contact with the screw or the connection member.   
     
     
         11 . The display apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein 
 the adjustment mechanism includes a biasing member that is arranged between the fixation member and the flat plate portion, the biasing member biasing the screw toward the fixation member.   
     
     
         12 . The display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 the display panel is rectangular as viewed from a direction that is vertical to the display surface, and   the adjustment mechanisms are respectively arranged at positions of a plurality of positions on a peripheral edge of the display panel.   
     
     
         13 . The display apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein 
 the adjustment mechanism is arranged at each of four corners of the display panel.   
     
     
         14 . The display apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein 
 each of the plurality of positions is situated in at least one portion between two ends of each of four side portions of the display panel.   
     
     
         15 . The display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 the at least one display module is a plurality of display modules, and   the display apparatus further comprises a support member that supports the plurality of display modules.   
     
     
         16 . The display apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein 
 the display panel is rectangular as viewed from a direction that is vertical to the display surface,   the support base has a shape that is equal to the shape of the display panel as viewed from the direction vertical to the display surface, and   each of the plurality of display modules includes at least one contact portion that is arranged at a peripheral edge of the support base and is brought into contact with the support member.   
     
     
         17 . The display apparatus according to  claim 16 , wherein 
 the at least one contact portion includes a contact surface that is brought into contact with the support member, and   the adjustment mechanism adjusts the distance in the direction vertical to the display surface such that a distance between the contact surface and the display surface exhibits a specified value.   
     
     
         18 . A display module, comprising:
